They're at it again!

The vocal anti-gun members of the U.S. Senate, in an attempt to capitalize on the tragic murders in Colorado and Wisconsin, are inserting language
in an unrelated Senate communications bill to once again restrict American's access to magazines that hold more than ten rounds.

Additionally, there is a draft bill circulating that would require anyone who sells ammo to be a licensed Federal Firearms Dealer (FFL).
This is the first step in the legislative process to regulate and restrict ammo sales and to require records of all ammo sold anywhere in the country...
gun shows, gun stores or on the Internet. The eventual goal of the ammo bill is restrict the amount of ammo we can buy, say 500 rounds a month.
That's one carton of .22 shells!
